A good lesson in hygiene, of especial
value now that summer with its attend
ant ills is at hand, may be learned from
the experience of DIR. Oscar LEM. This
eminent scientist has lately returned to
Europe after travelling on foot across the
African continent, through regions liter
ally rocking with marsh fevers, agues
and smallpox. During the entire journey
he enjoyed perfect and robust health,
and on not q single occasion felt the need
of medicine, remedial or preventive.
This enviable condition he attributes,
doubtless with propriety, almost entirely
to his correct diet and habits. Raw fruit
he eschewed. All water used was first
boiled. Not a drop of alcoholic liquor
passed his lips. Rice, chicken and tea
formed his staple fare. He avoided bath
ing in cold water, exposed himself as
little as possible to the dews and mists of
night, and dressed entirely in flannel.
There are some points in this experience
that might be of profit to the periodical
victims of malaria, " and in a cholera
season they would be invaluable to every
one.-New York Tribune.

The question of how to prevent check
ing in the ends of timber when 1t is
being seasoned is engaging the attention
of English engineers. According to a
recent report, it has been ascertained
after trying a number of expedients, that
by painting the ends of the timber with
thick glue several kinds of lumber can be
dried without checks. 1t is supposed
that the glue penetrates far enough to
cement the layers of the wood together
near the ends, and thus keep the ends
from drying faster than the rest of the
wood. OF course this method requires
seasoning under cover, since rain may
have the effect of dissolving the glue

Danbury, Conn, has a pair of twins
that not only look and speak almost ex-
actly alike, but are peculiarly attached to
n another. They cannot be separated
a single day without longing for each
others society, and yet they are both
married now. If one is upon one street
and the other on a different one they can
tell by some electrical affinity whether
they are approaching eaeh other or get
ting further apart. When one is sick the
other is more or less similarly affected

Born Russia and Great Britain are
shouting stop theft to cover their
preparations for aggressive action in AT
ghanistan. The British Indian author
ties are assisting the unwilling Afghans
to fortify Herat against a Russian siege
and prepare Candahar, the third great
city Of Afphanistan, to receive a British
army of occupation. All this excites the
righteous indignation OF Russia, but
meanwhile the Muscovite outposts are
being pushed farther and farther south to
support claims made to order upon terri
tory long conceded to the Amer. Be-
hind them come Notifications, depots of

Spendthrifts Who Were Penny Wise and
Pound Foolish.
We don't all realize ii, out each one
among US has got pet economy. Be
he ever so careless or eztravaoant in
other respects, he still clings to that.
A man who was a great gambler,
and thought little of losing G5OO or
f6O0 at sitting, would always be
scrupulously careful, from economical
reasons, to turn down his lamp before
making his way to the tables. He said
that, having sometimes forgotten it
and passed along q couple of streets,
he would feel compelled to turn back
and attend to the unfal6llcd duty, even
though he knew his friends were wait
ing for him and his hour past. Did he
resist the impulse? The recollection of
the wasted light would 50 annoy him
that his play for the evening would be
entirely spoiled.
Another, who squandered thousands
in the year on his special brands of
champagne, his forced pines, his straw
berries midst the SHOWS Of January, his
lamb and green peas on Christmas Day,
had hatred of seeing salt wasted. He
would dole out limited number of
grains into his plate adding minute
fragments III s.; - ~ - 1avor
his last mouthfuI OF nayonnaloe, and
looked daggers upon those among his
guests who had left a snowy hillock on
the edge of their plates almost un-
touched.
1t is common thing for a man who
finds at the end of the year that he
has exceeded his income By several
hundreds to stop a magazine in his
household or order a penny paper in the
place of his former, and with that rest
content, having vague feeling that he
has effected economies, and all will now
be well.
Another man, generous by nature,
after deciding it would be impossible to
dispense with the services of his second
footman, tries to strike the balance
even by carrying his own bag across
the railway platform to avoid the
necessity of superfuous tips, or Sneaks
shame-faced round the corner Of more
distant street that he may escape a
touch Of the hat from his pet crossing-
sweeper who mutely asks for a copper.
Others will prefer to risk setting the
house on fire to striking a fresh match
on the second storyin place of carrying
up that with long quivering red end
which has served toi light the gas below.

JUDGE TOURGEE ON THE SOUTH

Pittsburgh special TO The New York
World: Judge Albion w. Tourgee and
wife are taking a brief rest at the Monon-
gahela house. They have just returned
from the West, where the judge has been
lecturing
"What do you think of General Jack
sons speech at Macon during the Con-
federate re-union?" be was asked.
81 think General Jackson's speech the
best thing | have read since Lee surren-
dered"
"That's rather novel view of it, sug-
gested the reporter every many North
ern men regard it as highly reasonable. 4"
every many Northern men are fools,
consummate and irremediable fools They
are everlastingly proclaiming that the
South has accepted the arbitrament of the
last argument of kings, when they ought
to know, if they don't, that they know
nothing about the South and very much
less of the Southern people. Gen. Jack
son S speech is tie most truthful the most
mani y utterance which has been given TO
the real sentiment Of the people I ad-
mire him for it greatly. The people of
erners. They cannot understand, because
the Southerners are people as distinct
and unique as two peoples can be in some
particulars. They are two peoples, and
always have been. Some imagine that
slavery was the cause of the war. 1t was
not. It was only the excuse. The peo-
pie of the South have always demanded
the sovereignty of their states, and they
demand it yet. Logically and consistent
ly they have followed up that idea ever
since the revolution. They have charac-
ter, individuality and pride. They resent
interference with their affairs People
talk of the dying cut of the old sentiment.
It's all nonsense. The south has not
changed. The North has changed a
dozen times since the revolution, but the
South does not change like weathercock.
The South is solid because it is united
people, possessing some sentiment in COM
mon sufficiently strong to keep them solid.
Why, look at their conduct during the
war They were united. In the North
we were divided, and only by the skin of
our teeth were they defeated, not con-
quered. They submitted to peace and
surrendered only when hope of success
had vanished and they were famished
and suffering for the actual necessaries of
life The New South, as it has been
called, is only few Northern men who
have gone there to make money. They
welcome capital. So does everp people,
and they are right. The New South is
coming, however, and when it comes the
people and world will be able to recog-
nize it without being told. They'll show
it by that individuality, competence and
honesty which the times and needs of our
country demand"
